Offensive Rookie of the Year Candidates Moore #9

Wouldn't this be awesome.  

It's possible.  If used properly by Turner Moore could surprise a lot of people.   I think we have enough weapons that Moore won't face double coverage too much.  His ability to gain YAC will improve his chances.

Thought?

I think he has a legit shot. Obviously the favorite going into the season is gonna be Barkley, but aside from him I don’t think any other rookie has a better shot than Moore unless one of the rookie QBs plays very well. 

Typical Dallas loving article.  Who would have thought they would list Michael Gallup #1 over Barkley.

With the way that the ball is spread around in this offense, I don't believe that Moore will have a legit shot at OROY (which is fine with me). If he does, it will likely mean that he is balling beyond expectations (which is also fine with me). I am just looking for an impact. It's been so long, that I've forgotten what a Panthers offense looks like with multiple threats to take it to the house on any ol' play.  Moore, Samuel and maybe even Thomas should help that out tremendously, but as a unit.

In any given year, the top WR taken in the draft should always automatically be considered a contender for OPOY...regardless of what situation he’s coming into, unless he’s truly drafted entirely for potential. The fact that this article has him at #9, behind several mid-round receivers, is insulting if anything. Not that I care about asinine predictions like these, but I’m confused as to how you would be excited by an article like this.

Excited?  Where do you get that I was excited?  I simply said wouldn't it be awesome.  If used properly he could rack up some good numbers.  I think that is a fair assessment.

Ridley.... But that's simply because the system they run and Julio will always get the coverage rolled to his side

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
